I started the week off by telling you my “secret” diet and how it is really a no brainer in terms of fat loss, well today I’m going to do a guest newsletter written by the author of Eat Stop Eat, Brad Pilon.When I say that he’s a nutrition expert, that’s really putting it lightly.  The guy pours over research studies like you and I may read the newspaper or a magazine. ...

I think the term “busy mom” is really an idiotic statement.  If you’re a mom isn’t it assumed that you’re busy?I can’t think of any mom who wasn’t working her hands to the bone taking care of her family.  It just kind of comes with the territory.Unfortunately, this often doesn’t include much time for yourself when it comes to taking care of your body ...

Last weekend Andrea and I were out with my sisters and brothers-in-law for dinner and drinks (yes I, the personal trainer, has drinks on the weekend...I'm not a total health nut). That's when I heard it. It's something I've heard from clients before, but I thought I had taught my family better. It's something a lot of people do and think they're helping themselves, when in actuality they're hurting their fa ...
